Game Version

4.10.7 (build 966)

Describe the bug

I'm trying to start a new game and some mods I have previously used are not working. The 3 main ones that aren't working are the 2 future expansion mods ("2022 09 18" and "continued") , and the better pantheons mod. There is a long "incorrectly defined" message when I check the box to select them. I am having the same issue on my Chromebook and my Android. I am current on the updates. This started about a week ago when I tried starting a new game.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to '...' start new gam
2. Click on '...' select mods
3. Scroll down to '...' quick flashing pop up
4. See error

All of these mods are broken. Not an Unciv problem.

Please open an issue in the mod's repo, or even better, submit a PR to fix it there :) Not an Unciv error

Is there anyway to fix them? I don't know diddly squat about coding and they are really good mods, adds a lot to the game. Especially the future ones.

I mean, it actually has some serious problems, but only 2 of those are blockers - and they can be fixed by adding "+" to the "1 Faith" to make it "+1 Faith" So you can open a PR for that I'm not responsible for mod upkeep, game upkeep is hard enough as it is 😓

I really appreciate you looking into it, and the work you do for this game. This is an awesome game and it keeps getting better. Thank you ^^

To maybe clarify:

• The base game (our work right here) offers the mechanics that can be used by mods.
• Mods are independent and found by the base game using an online query - we have no control over who just publishes a repository with the proper topic that will appear in the mods list - that is what the mod management screen (main menu button "mods") does.
• But we do validation - try to find uses of said mechanics that will not work properly. That is what you see on new game, or on the "Options Popup" on the "locate mod errors" tab.
• Validation cannot catch all mistakes - but we try to improve validation where we can.
• Mechanics sometimes need to change, old mechanics that are replaced must go sometime. Mods get a grace period, but if they don't catch up, that's another source of "seemed to work fine" to "rejected" experiences.
• Mod manager has a button to easily visit the github repository of a mod. That's where you often find more information - e.g. a good readme - or development info. And each repo has their own issue tracker. Go ahead and pester them. :laughing:
• Fixing a mod that you enjoy, but where the author does not respond and seems to have abandoned it...There's a tiny hurdle, but nobody hinders you to fork (make a copy here on github that you can change independently) a mod and fix it. That's not coding per se even if the json format looks a little like code.
• (that hurdle is - mod names. If you give your fork a fresh new name then everything is good. Or hide it from our query by removing the "unciv-mod" topic - no problem.)
• You do not even need a fork - you can modify your local copy using a text editor - though that is much harder on Android.

I managed to fix the better pantheons mod. I renamed it B.P. and it seems to work just fine now :) I have been trying to tinker with the Future-Expansion-2022-9-18 but I cannot seem to get the alien monolith to do what its supposed to do. it seems wheelchair2 or SpacedOutChicken got it fixed but i have tried many newbish ways to get it to apply to my local/downloaded version to no avail. I have tried to message them as well without luck.
If you could somehow fix it on the in game list, or provide me with a download link (https://github......) it would be so appreciated...rename it and what not if you need to. I really like that mod, it adds so much to the mid and late games...I would almost dare suggest to add most or all of it to the main game. I am starting to learn about this "coding" on git hub and I have some other ideas I am pondering for when I eventually get a real computer. Civilization: Call to Power that came out between civ2 and civ3 had some good features, esp as far as future stuff goes...underwater rails and cities...orbital colonies, hover tanks ect ect...
